Help your little one get ready for the classroom with this LeapReader Reading and Writing System.

Designed to work with the LeapReader books, your child simply presses the pen against the words or letters to hear the sounds, so it’s perfect for when they are just starting to learn their ABCs. It’s also ideal for encouraging your youngster to read independently as they grow, using the pen on occasional words to give them a helping hand.

It sounds out letters and adds fun character voices to really make the stories come to life. It can also be used with the LeapReader books to write out letters and numbers, with interactive guidance to spur them on. Once your youngster gets the hang of it, they can move on to writing full words and work on their maths skills to continue their development.

With such a wide range of books – from fun Disney stories such as Tangled (item number XA8TN) and Toy Story 3 (UW812), through to educational reading like the world map (UU246) – there’s plenty to keep your little one occupied.

The LeapReader Reading and Writing System also has lots of sound effects and activities to help make learning fun, along with a wide range of tips and tricks for adding to the experience by simply plugging it in to your PC.
